Facelift Surgery Can Help You Achieve a Lifted, More Youthful Appearance

Face lifts and neck lifts can correct the toll taken on our faces due to factors such as gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life. Deep creases that appear beside the mouth can be corrected by having a facelift. A facelift can also correct a jaw line that slackens and a neck lift can eliminate folds and fat deposits that appear on the neck. Facelifts and neck lifts can counteract these trouble spots by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles. A facelift performed by Dr. Peter L. Schwartz at his Woodbury, Long Island Cosmetic Plastic Surgery facility can give your face a fresher, more youthful look. After facelift surgery, some patients have been known to appear as much as 10 to 15 years younger. The facelift (rhytidectomy) procedure works best when it is combined with other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures such as the brow lift, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping and the neck lift procedure. A neck lift combined with a facelift together can create even more dramatic results. During a facelift, small incisions are made in inconspicuous places such as behind the hairline and in natural folds of the face and ears. Scars made as the result of a facelift or neck lift fade to near invisibility with time. Before undergoing a facelift, it is important to understand that the results of a facelift do not last forever. Depending on how well you take care of your skin you may want to have another facelift procedure done in five to ten years.

If the signs of aging in your face are bothering you, a facelift may be a viable option for you. If you re considering having a facelift procedure done, call Dr. Schwartz and he will outline all of the viable options during a complimentary cosmetic plastic surgery consultation.
